I'm still shocked Minford was taken from D2 down to D5. They always seemed like a school the size of Wheelersburg to me I don't know why. I know people think the divisions are "watered down" but I personally don't mind it. All the usual characters were in district championships this past f...

As the weather changes and we (hopefully) start to see some warmer weather I figured id spark up some soccer conversation for the summer and fall on the boys side of things. I think this year we get CB changes, are there any teams that might be moving divisions? I know with the expansion some were c...

As much as I pull for the SHAC in soccer I really don’t see the game between peebles and Minford being close… it would take a big off night on Minfords part and a perfect game for Peebles to compete. It’s the tournament and anything can happen I suppose.

Tourney time is almost upon us, I only really follow D5 so what would be everyone's predictions for seeds? I think it should be fairly straightforward.

Minford
Lynchburg
South Webster have been the most impressive this season.

any potential surprises that could happen?

Hard not to have Lynchburg in any top 5 for D5. only losses are to some very good opponents. Outside of the top 6 teams in that division its not the greatest.

Next level of that would be teams like Peake, Peebles Belpre, Eastern Brown and probably like a whiteoak based off records I've seen.

Records for the SHAC teams per the website,

North Adams 7-1-2
Lynchburg 6-3-1
Peebles 5-4-1
Eastern 4-4-3
Fairfield 2-8-0
West Union 2-6-1
Ripley 2-9-1
Whiteoak 4-3

Does belpre need any games? I’ve seen a few more towards adams and highland county that are in need of some. Would be a haul either way to play.

Is there no longer a coaches poll this year? always like seeing them posted on social media. Might do a top ten for D5 here soon.

update on the SHAC standings as of 9/12

North Adams 4-0-0
Lynchburg 4-0-0
Peebles 3-1-0

Eastern 4-4

SHAC scores from tonight

North Adams 5 West Union 0
Lynchburg 2 Fayetteville 0
Peebles 4 Felicity 1
Eastern 4 Fairfield Leesburg 1

How are teams doing on the boys side of things? I know most years we have a list of records in a thread. Seems like a lot of D5 teams have solid records so far.

are they really? i remember seeing Minford and Northwest as D5 teams this year? Did something change? and i was very unsure about Peake and Wellston lol

As far as I know the D5 schools are:

Minford
South Webster
Northwest
Portsmouth West

Peebles
Lynchburg
North Adams
Ripley
Fairfield
Eastern Brown
West Union
Whiteoak

Valley
St Joe
Clay
Western Latham
New Boston

Rock Hill
Chesapeake( I think)
Belpre
Wellston

Might have missed one or two

West Union does not have a girls team this year

So far no surprises in the league in the early stages, North Adams got a big win over Fayetteville tonight 1-0. So far the standings I’ve found are: Lynchburg: 3-0-0 North Adams: 2-0-0 Peebles: 2-0-0 Fayetteville: 2-1-0 Fairfield: 1-1-0 Eastern, West Union, Ripley, and Whiteoak all sit at 0-2-0 Also...

I knew I was forgetting a team! Yes division 5 should be fairly competitive. I know SW is stacked but I do not know much about what those other teams have gained or lost.

D-5 boys looks like Minford SW West Union Northwest Lynchburg North Adams Peebles Ripley Whiteoak Portsmouth West Chesapeake St Joe Valley Clay(if they have a team) New Boston Eastern Brown Fairfield Rock Hill Western Latham I think that might be all the teams unless I'm missing just one more potent...

D4 looks very good. Excited to see how the new divisions play out this fall. Does anyone know if they will move to the RPI stuff like they did basketball this past winter? I know the OHSAA was thinking about it already.

Boys D5 looks like it could be competitive.

Minford, SW probably clear favorites

Then you have Valley, NW, North Adams, Lynchburg and Peebles, and St. Joe rounding out the contenders.

D4 looks stacked with talent. Burg, south Point, Alex, Unioto just to name a few.
